Tell us about your request

What do you want us to build?

Which Amazon Chime SDK or feature area is this request for? Record meeting as a single file instead of multiple separate files

Tell us about the problem you are trying to solve and why is it hard?

Having many files makes organizing and keeping track difficult. Is there any option we can pass in chime record call to tell it should compose single mp4 file instead of multiple?

How are you currently solving a problem?

Currently we using FFMPEG to join video files manually. Download all files given in a meeting to a folder on disk then run ffmpeg on those files to get a single file output

Additional context

Anything else we should know?

  let captureS3Destination = `arn:aws:s3:::${CAPTURE_S3_DESTINATION_PREFIX}-${meetingRegion}/${meeting.Meeting.MeetingId}/`
  pipelineInfo = await chime.createMediaCapturePipeline({
    SourceType: "ChimeSdkMeeting",
    SourceArn: `arn:aws:chime::${AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}:meeting:${meeting.Meeting.MeetingId}`,
    SinkType: "S3Bucket",
    SinkArn: captureS3Destination,
    // Anything we need to add here to get a single file output?
  }).promise();

Thanks for the feature request.

As a workaround, you can take a look at https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-chime-media-capture-pipeline-demo which demonstrates how to post-process the artifacts in a lambda function.
